Mulan Stay Matsuo Taisha

Situated in the historical district, this welcoming vacation home brings all of Kyoto within your reach. Shijo Street is just a short walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers covered onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make short work of the 4-minute drive to Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. If you're looking to expand your horizons and see other nearby locales, you can catch a train at Matsuo Station, located within a 5-minute walk of your stay.

This vacation rental features a down comforter, climate-controlled air-conditioning, and a roundtrip airport shuttle. Connect to the free WiFi, or get cozy in front of the digital TV (first-run movies available). And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have access to laundry facilities. Other amenities include an extra futon mattress, bed sheets, and soundproofing.
